"Gross domestic product­—the sum of the goods and services produced by a
nation—is an insufficient measure of national economic performance,
according to a new report from the World Economic Forum (WEF), which is
hosting its annual gathering of the global elite in Davos this week."

Long overdue. See also this linked article:

Actually a lot of the Quartz articles are interesting!
